ⓘ About Kel Kade

Growing up, Kel lived a military lifestyle with distinctive geography and cultures which instilled in her a wanderlust and opened up a young mind to the knowledge that the Earth is wild and expansive. Her deep interest in ancient history, art, languages, music, cultural anthropology, science, and spirituality is evidenced by the richness and diversity of the cultures and places portrayed in her writing. She worked as an environmental consultant before she entered into a doctoral program with research in big data studies of volcanic rock geochemistry and marine research in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana and Central America volcanic arcs.
